Bon Iver 2017

[Zoo Music Girl]

Can't remember where I heard it now (probably here) but someone said it was down to anxiety/depression. Sounds feasible as I found it strange to cancel rather than just postpone, which you might for other kinds of illness or family issues etc. He's still doing some dates elsewhere isn't he? Perhaps the prospect of a full tour was just a bit much. Sad times

Didn't know that, sad times indeed! 

[Acid_Haze]

Anyone think he might pop up on the park stage this year for one of the surprises? Would have thought he'd be the perfect contender as he isn't a fan of the gigantic crowds and his new music would absolutely work in that sort of setting. Wouldn't be the first time he turns up at glastonbury as a surprise, he's done it the last 2 years with James Blake & Kanye

[Amy Lawn]

I don't want to get silly here, but if anybody is a perfect candidate for a secret slot on The Park, it obviously has to be Bonny Bear and the lads.

[DeeplyBopper]

Not losing hope until full lineup is released. Would make my year to finally see BI live after so long & the disappointment of the tour cancellation.

[Amy Lawn]

There's always the prospect of just Internation Male Solo Artist Mr. B. Iver joining The National on stage for a tune or two, but in all honesty that would just piss me off. Wounds still run deep from the Blackpool cancellation, still haven't been to a single gig this year.

[Calvin Klein]

It's not happening. I need to let this one go

Do you not know where you are? This efestivals! The land where unrealistic expectations may flourish without any hindrance.

[nikkic]

They won't be playing now but if they were to be added, it would only add to the clashterfuck of this magnificent line up. 

[home to you]

Yeah I've also lost all hope of this now*

I just wish he'd play somewhere over here. Least he could do after cancelling his whole tour is play somewhere nearer than Ireland!

[strangetown]

Was fortunate enough to see them at latitude in the fallow year 2012 and was hoping they would pop up this year on the back of their new album. 

Hopefully he gets what he needs from his hiatus and comes back firing.

I see Bon Iver have another gig in Ireland in September now as part of an Aaron Dessner curated event, wonder if the European tour will be rescheduled for then?

Hope so... september seems to be the popular choice this year (Sigur Ros, The National and possibly LCD).

I'd kinda given up on those gigs being rescheduled but we'll see

[Mardy]

He was fucking amazing at Primavera, the new stuff just works so well live, all I could think was how it would be perfect for an Other headliner.

[TiZuff]

He was indeed superb at primavera. Still hoping for a secret gig as the national are there  too 

[Amy Lawn]

I think there's a rescheduled European tour incoming for September, my mate seems to have been told 25th at Blackpool.

[Amy Lawn]

YES! If you booked tickets to the cancelled tour, check your emails :D:D:D:D

[the wonderwhy]

Anymore dates? 

[Gucci Piggy]

Cba with all these tours at the same time, can't really justify this and I've already had to pass on QOTSA, RTJ, Justice and Nick Cave

Sorry, couldn't say, I only know she's had an email about first dibs on tickets for the replacement date from the one we booked.

So that's a weekend of The National in Manchester on Friday, LCD Soundsystem in London on Saturday, Bon Iver in Blackpool on Monday. Outrageous.

[justanothername]

First they cancel and now they announce the new dates when I have no money. Just my luck

I'm upset that the JAN/Lawn road trip won't go ahead, would've been bloody legendary. 

omgomgomg this is going to be during the illuminations isn't it? I'm going to be in my fucking element here.

This is actually the most upsetting thing about this  

Though me and one of my mates have been talking about going to Radiohead next week so if that falls through the road trip might still go ahead

That's silly I'm doing LCD in Manchester and The National in London. We will never come across each other despite the vain attempts every Glasto Sunday night.

Edit: Speaking of which my mate was so confused on the Monday morning as to why I was texting a guy called 'GOML' trying to meet him in the middle of Justice.
